Electric Violin

As I'm walking down the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, I hear this mysterious sound, obviously a musical instrument, but unlike anything I've ever heard before. Sort of a string, or wind, or vocal -- or what? I make a beeline for it, to discover this guy playing an electric violin through an effects box. I regret not having my MiniDisc recorder to capture the otherworldly sound of his music, but at least I have my camera to capture his image.
